The options.. Option A - Abandon TRO/21/29D 4.5 This would entail removing the current scheme in its entirety. TRO/21/29D would expire on 15 June 2026 and there would be no requirement to report to the TRO Sub-Committee on the representations to the current trial scheme, received in response to the advertising of both TRO/21/29 and TRO/21/29D. Option B - Advertise the new ETRO that has been drafted 4.6 This would entail changing the Clinton Road/Whitehouse Road and the Braid Estate sections of the current trial scheme, in line with the Committee decisions from March and April 2024 and commencing a new trial of the revised scheme. Other sections of the current trial scheme would be retained in their current form. The ETRO that has been drafted to implement the revised scheme as a new trial would be advertised and would revoke TRO/21/29D. There would be no requirement to report to the TRO Sub-Committee on the representations to the current trial Transport and Environment Committee – 2 April 2026 scheme, received in response to the advertising of both TRO/21/29 and TRO/21/29D. Option C - Refer objections to the current trial scheme to TRO Sub-Committee 4.7 All representations to the current trial scheme, received in response to the advertising of both TRO/21/29 and TRO/21/29D, would be referred to the TRO Sub-Committee for consideration as part of its decision-making process on whether to make TRO/21/29D permanent. The Sub-Committee could decide to make the Order permanent, in full or in part, or not to make the Order permanent. Depending on the Sub-Committee’s decision all, part or none of the current trial scheme would be retained. 4.8 If Committee approves proceeding with either Option A or Option C, this does not prevent the potential for future changes to the road layout. If a subsequent change were required, officers would re-engage with the local community and other relevant stakeholders over the potential for further changes to be made and report back to Commi…

Deputn written version... TRANSPORT AND ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE – 2 APRIL 2026 – WRITTEN DEPUTATION Made on behalf of residents on Braid Avenue, regarding Item 9.2 on the agenda: Motion by Councillor Booth - Implications of Standards Commission decision for Greenbank to Meadows Quiet Route and the Late Report on the same matter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To Committee This deputation is submitted on behalf of the residents of Braid Avenue. For the past 3 years we have been subjected to distressing proposals and undue pressure from various lobbyist groups, many based outwith the Braid Estate and Edinburgh. As residents living on the Quiet Route, we have seen the significant positive impacts an LTN has on active travel and safety for all travellers, including pedestrians. The benefits to the environment are also clear, and we would like to see them extended to all residents within the Braid Estate and further afield. We believe improvements can be made to the Quiet Route, in terms of better signage and wayfinding signals, as well as more attractive permanent materials for the modal filters which play an essential role moderating through traffic. The Braid Estate is an entirely residential area that was not built to handle the growing amount of traffic in the area and since the implementation of measures, a new primary school has opened on the Quiet Route and school bike buses have started to use the local streets. In 2022 most of the residents living on Braid Avenue were unaware of any engagement the council might have been carrying out. No leaflets or notices were received, and no ward councillors visited the residents on what is arguably one of the roads most impacted by the measures. In 2023, frustrated by lack of engagement from the council, local residents conducted their own survey which resulted in approximately 90% of residents of Braid Avenue indicating that they wished to …

Planting native shrubs along little creek today and came across about a dozen feathers from a northern flicker. That is the circle of life. Doing our part to plant food and cover.

FHarmers normalising #cow, an animal native to #Iran:
⭕ "There used to be many wild ruminants"
⭕ "There used to be many natural #meadows and not just forests"
Only 5% of pasture in Germany was "natural meadows" before instead of forests. Cow destroyed half of all forest cover, 90% of old growth.
"Here’s the new game plan in a nutshell: increase photosynthesis and transform dirt back to #soil. Properly plant native #trees. Help them attain a long, healthy life. Preserve existing trees. Get rid of lawns for native #meadows planted from seed. Stop using fertilizers and harmful chemicals."

I love it when the crows come into the yard. This one of a pair seemed to be interested in the nascent buds on the dogwood tree.
